If thats really where the error is then the user context that ASP is running 
under cannot instantiate MSXML4.

That would be pretty odd unless you are doing something "non-default" on you 
IIS box. The more likely scenario is that the next line is trying to call 
.load() on the DomDocument, and that path is restricted somehow, perhaps a 
permissions issue on the directory?

You can try one or two things to narrow it down:

1) Whatever resource you are loading into that DOM, try something else? Code 
up a simple ASP page that instantiates a DOM document and uses MSXML3 or 4 
to loadXML("<foo />"), ... if that works fine, then see if it will load 
"C:\temp\foo.xml" where foo.xml is literally just <foo /> saved in 
notepad....you get the idea.

If all this works great, then the issue is likely with the ACLs on your 
resource that you are loading.

If all this fails with the same kind of Access Denied that you saw on line 
10...

2) Try replacing MSXML4 progIDs with MSXML3 progIDs to see if its an MSXML4 
install issue. This might be trickier if your ASP app is big, or highly 
interdepenedent, as with MSXML you cannot mix and match progID versions, 
typically. Anyway. if its an install issue it would be weird but you can 
never trust those durn computers!
